Orienteering - hard race 1:18:00 [4]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 260 Mar 13
aaaand it went worse :-( same as yesterday, i couldnt get the map to go in my head. this time i really blew up on one control (3 1/2 mins, one of which in disbelief at how i got to where i did) and lots of faff, wiggles and extra distance, so my "shortened long" time wasn't that short. what can i do? for a start it's made me determined to prepare properly and thoroughly for WOC. good to have a kick up the arse sometimes but i have been a proper miserable cow all weekend and should at least cheer up a bit before 10mila!
Running - easy warm up/down 15:00 [1]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 260 Mar 13
my legs were working well today at least (though i lost motivation to push a bit out on the course)

Silva League at Tibro. was so so unhappy after this for ages, i'd felt better in my legs and couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. but then i finally got to look at the map again and remembered that i messed up at least every other control, feeling a bit stressed with the 1:15 map and an area i hadn't done any prep for (on purpose, so serves me right really). not the best feeling ever!
Though it was nice to have my legs working this time and the main aim of the day was to see what happens when i take gel. it worked okay with my stomach and i think it helped (didnt crash like at the jk anyway), good, but i need to get used to doing it - some of my mistakes and distractions were to do with the gel taking.

evening jog on arrival in Tibro with Sam and Lisa C. Sooo nice and warm and sunny. saw some deer too :-) we chatted about how good it was to have some warmth at last but also as Lisa said "sometimes the best bit is having to wait for it"

Running - easy 50:00 [3]
shoes: Inov-8 Road-X 233 Mar 13
In the sun and in my shorts! out to try out a few hills on Backbana, where almost all the snow is gone, finally. definitely some work to do on the steep ones but luckily i think this is the perfect place to practice the steep sandy ridges that will be at WOC. also got stung by something but legs were feeling fine :-)
6 PM
Orienteering - medium 45:00 [3]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 260 Mar 13
Middle training, pre running Saturday's Linné competition. It was a complete disaster! Just like last week I went out to try and use the training as a bit harder physical training and never got into the map reading element of things. oh dear. running felt okay on the easier bits but the forest was actually quite rough in places, really rocky and with brashings.

now added post-gympa soreness into the mix so just an easy run from home
3 PM
S&C 45:00 [1]
functional strength with the högstadiet orienteering group. really nice mix of drill work, lifting techniques and core with rolling out at the end too, at the performance bit of UTK hallen. wish i'd had all that help when i was 14! also had to cycle there (Gränby) and back, quite a way (though bike broke on the way home...)
6 PM
Note
No intervals tonight, decided i havent recovered well enough yet to do a hard training. I can still have three harder runs (including two long races!) without doing one today. also an interesting chat we had at the weekend about supplements. Some of us take lots but i take nothing at all. have since wondered if it would help. almost went and bought a load but decided on blodpudding and extra veg instead. might be worth having a blood test sometime anyway?
